Baromètre de la confiance des consommateurs québécois à l’égard des aliments -2e édition - Édition complète
The Quebec government's Biofood Policy places consumer expectations and health at the heart of its priorities for the coming years. Offering products that meet consumers' needs is one of the main orientations defined to achieve the ambitions and targets of this policy. In this context, CIRANO's Barometer of Quebec consumers' confidence in food is an important and very useful tool for decision making for the government, but also for all stakeholders in the bio-food sector. Conducted on a regular basis, the Barometer makes it possible to identify trends and take into account the changing context in which Quebecers make food choices. As was the case with the first edition in 2019, the 2021 Barometer provides rich, timely and unprecedented information on a range of issues related to the level of consumer confidence in food. It also identifies priority actions for the government, including levers to increase the consumption of organic or Quebec foods, tackle food waste, or encourage responsible business practices such as animal welfare or respect for the environment. This second edition of the Barometer is based on a survey administered from February 8 to 11, 2021 to a representative sample of 1005 people. The report presents very detailed descriptive statistics, but also the results of multivariate analyses and statistical tests to determine whether the results vary significantly according to certain socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents, such as gender, age, region of residence and income.
